Kolkata: In the recent past, Kolkata football has seen some inspirational stories where the entire sports fraternity became united and joined hands by forgetting the bitter rivalry between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan to help two cancer-affected football fans Bapi Saha and Alip Chakraborty a few months back. Along with the sports personalities like Pele, MS Dhoni, Helder Postiga, Gautam Gambhir, Leander Paes, all came forward to support the two football passionate individuals who were striving for sufficient money. Unfortunately East Bengal fan Alip Chakraborty is no more with us, but Bapi Saha, the Mohun Bagan fan has recovered from the deadly disease and again has become a regular in the stands when Mohun Bagan plays.

Mohun Bagan fan Sanjoy Kumar Das’s 4 years’ old daughter Arushi Das has been suffering from another critical ailment, as she has both her kidneys damaged and needs a lot of money and support to recover from that. This time East Bengal’s midfield general Mehtab Hossain comes forward to help the young girl to save her life from that cruel clutch.

Today, after the training, Mehtab told www.xtratime.in , “Yes, I feel, as a part of the Kolkata maidan and as a sportsperson, I should come forward and help the little girl who is in such pathetic conditions.” He added, “I promised to help them as much as possible to save her life.”

The way Mehtab has come forward to this special cause, it will certainly send a message to the entire sports fraternity of the country about the grandeur of Kolkata Maidan, which knows how to protect the people associated to it.
